Aras Good at Showdown
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player limped from the button, only to be met with a raise to 6,500 from Jeremy Aras in the small blind, and a three-bet to 20,500 from Jean-Louis Etchepare in the big blind. The button folded and Aras called.
On the A♦8♥5♣ flop Aras check-called a bet of 8,000 from his opponent.
The A♥ turn and 5♠ river were both checked through.
Aras showed A♣Q♠ for trip aces, while Etchepare showed A♠J♥, also for trip aces, but Aras' queen kicker played and sent him the pot. The rest of the table seemed perplexed that no more chips went in after the flop given the players holdings.
